Thanks!!! NOC is 2173. Beside usual IMM forms, I attached my pay stubs, experience letter and resume. Also LMIA letter, agreement between me and my prospective Canadian employer and signed offer letter. And finally a letter of explanation about unavailability of experience letter in the suggested format.
